Re: 1., believe it or not, I don't usually try to type people very soon. It's always in my mind that the types exist, and that everyone's got their own reasons for whatever it is they do, but I usually respond only to what I observe, and may type them later.

The MBTI provides shaky theoretical concepts intended to earmark traits against a self-questionnaire. It is not good theory.

Even if proctored, reliability is contingent on subjective observation. As these observations allow for open-ended interpretation, the MBTI gives momentum to folks conjuring personal "pet" theories against a credible-sounding manuscript in attempt to make sense of their results.

As a model for psychological evaluation, the MBTI leaves a lot to be desired.
